Axton

Axton the Commando

Axton is a new playable character in Borderlands 2 and will take roll as the new Roland. He occupies a new "commando" class similar to the "soldier" class of Borderlands 1. He was unveiled on February 21, 2012, in the Borderlands 2 Launch Date Trailer.

Background

Originally from Heironymus, Axton turned to a military career, although was later discharged for being too unpredictable and a fun-loving glory seeker. He took his skills, and his precious turret, to Pandora where he felt they would be more appreciated.
